Reply to this topic Return to forumI don't get move 24… red should have made the chain longer it seems and win the game.
You are right in both assumptions, Dvd. In this position there is a very long chain, so whoever wins the chain fight wins the game, and it is impossible to prevent a chain in the 3×3 area in the upper left. However, red's 25th move is losing, since it fails to force a chain. For example b5-b6 instead of b4-b5 would have won.
